An introduction to the Web Audio APIThe Web Audio API is a way of creating and manipulating audio within the browser. It’s a specification proposed by Google, and as such is currently only available in Chrome, with the hope other browsers adopting it and it becoming a standard. The actual audio processing itself is done with Assembly/C/C++ code within the browser, but the API gives us a nice high-level way of interacting with this code using JavaScript. AudioContext In order to start using the API, we must first create an AudioContext.IS JAPAN COOL?The virtual IJC Museum in the Cloud allows visitors like you to enjoy modern artworks by Japan’s representative artists.

The Sacred Geometry Of MusicThe Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything. Into our reality springs a non-visual harmonic law that is universal. The notes and intervals of music speak directly to the chakra centers and causes them to vibrate in harmony to the vibration of a string or vocal chords, speakers moving through the air, or the sound of someone’s lips making a farting noise through a metal tube. Music uses the laws of physics and mathematics to bring out an emotional response in the listener.

Previously, one could only specify that a file looped and then entire file looped. In video game sound, however, we have need for the ability to set starting and ending points for a loop within a complete file, that way the sound can play smoothly from the start, into the looping section, and then out the tail once the loop has occurred enough times. A classic example of this would be a vehicle engine or an automatic weapon. I've put together an example that implements a machine gun, allowing the user to either hit the spacebar and keep it pressed in order to continue firing the weapon, or to click on the machine gun image and have the same functionality. As always, you can download the code.

Change their fate – Wildlife Reserves SingaporeTurtles and tortoises are struggling to survive. Threatened by habitat loss, and illegal hunting and trading, many species are teetering on the brink of extinction. We may be their biggest problem, but we can choose to become their only solution. Currently, 80% of Asia's 86 turtle and tortoise species are at risk of extinction. For turtles, the two most commonly traded species are the Asiatic Softshell Turtle and the Southeast Asian Box Turtle. Ruthlessly hunted, they're sold to be ingredients for traditional medicine, turtle soup and delicacies such as Guilinggao.
